Annual STB Marketing Meetings 11-13 December 2012.

PRESS RELEASE

13 December 2012

Annual
STB Marketing Meetings 11-13 December 2012.

Having joined in
deliberation with the Seychelles Tourism Board over the past two days
concerning those matters which are impacting most negatively upon Seychelles’
tourism industry, the Seychelles tourism trade brings the following issues to
the attention of the Government in the hope that the solutions may be implemented
without delay:

Seychelles is in
danger of losing its security label and the perception in the eyes of the
consumer that Seychelles is a safe place to come on holiday. Such a perception
lies at the very foundation of the industry's success and loss of the security
label will affect tourism numbers disastrously.

The Seychelles
tourism trade asks the government to take immediate, integrated and durable
steps to ensure that crimes against tourists carry far stiffer penalties
reflective of their gravity against the industry upon which the nation depends
for its prosperity.

That Government
looks at the deplorable lack of security on the nations’ walks and trails which
are an important asset and the USP of the tourism industry and asks for an
effective, integrated approach to the problem with the Ministry of Environment
and Ministry of Internal Affairs to take such measures as may be necessary to
restore the security which tourists can expect to enjoy. We urge the relevant
Ministries to take ownership of main economic lifeline of the nation and to
adopt the integrated, long term approach necessary to avoid piecemeal, one-off,
short term solutions which often undermine our best efforts.

Government
seriously needs to address the question of the current lack of proper
enforcement of the law with regards to effectively prosecuting blatant criminal
activity inside tourism establishments themselves, with the consequent negative
impact on revenue and future investor interest.

The Seychelles
Tourism Trade urges the Government to create a climate conducive to restoring
direct flights to its core European markets for reasons of diversification of
risk and restoration of tourism numbers from those markets.

Government
should also adopt the visionary approach and create the level playing field
necessary to attract and keep the interest of new airlines who show potential
in opening up Seychelles to the world.

The trade urges
all Government bodies and relevant agencies to buy into Seychelles’ tourism
industry, assume their responsibilities for ensuring the furtherance of its
aims, strategies and objectives in an integrated fashion to mitigate the
negative effects impacting on tourism at a global level. The trade recommends
that 2013 be declared as Seychelles Year of Tourism, to reflect the importance
of the industry to the nation.

The Seychelles
tourism trade is delighted that Government has officially appointed members of
the SHTA Marketing Board to work with and to collaborate with the STB in the
domains of marketing strategy, marketing budget and the use of marketing funds
for tourism.

How can Seychelles government protect any tourist when they fails miserably protected their own people. For God sake fix up their infectious disgusting hospital, where would tourist go if they should get sick? In that freakin death trap hospital!

You right ,the best thing to do is to get PP out and that rapidly.For Pp has no clue,no understading of economy,no stragety,and do not even understand the importance of having a National carrier.Countires that do not have a National such as Uganda etc.. are doing all to build up one for they understand the importance of it.Only PP monkeys and their foreign arabs donkeys seems to ignore that.

So waht we must do.get those monkeys oput of power,stop them from abusing,raping our institutions to conduct and cover up their criminal activities.

4.41AmHe has all the quality of leadership ,a genuine leader must have.Thus fit to be President,and he is without question a potential candidate and a person our country needs for the future of this country.The job he has been delivered speak for themselves and the people recognize that,thus their growthing support for SFp and its leadership.

5.37AmYou can not fool anyone trying to use others name.You have a problem it seems to accept the idea that any Seychellois who feels,thinks,etc..to be President of our land has a right to candidate for the higher office,even BIOKO can do if he feels like though after the people will decide of whether they want him or not.Only PP communists think power was limited to a handful of persons in our society that explained why PP raped our freedom in 1977.

While other Airlines are necessary to shoulders Air Seychelles and our economy,there are Airlines though their operations would have not effect on our tourism industry..For Instance,Turkey Airline flying to Seychelles to transport which kind of tourists?Turkey is itself a tourist destination AND TURKISH themselves are not necessary a big tourist market.Secoindly,it is difficult to figure out how Turkish Airline will bring toursist to our shores and also difficult to see an EUROPEAN TOURIST traveling from a Europe via turkey to reach Seychelles simply because the tourist intinary would be longer .Traveling via turkey would mean more hours waste only to reach there and a waste of money.

There are however Airlines that can really help us boost our tourist arriva:BELAIR;EDELWIESS;VIRGIN etc..these Airlines already operates flgiht to Maldives,Kenya,South Africa,Sri Lanka,Mauritius,PHuket Thailand,Cuba,Mexico ..and their operations are really doing good for those countries tourism industry.Maybe St Ange should firstly ask why they not landing on our shores and secondly ,when would he contact such airlines?Ethopia Airline,Turkish Airline,Afgan Airline,etc..these airlines cannot bring us more tourists for these countries do not provide the tourists arrival we expected.

Our markets for tourism is eroding from lack of direct flights ,lack of big enough planes, lack of open skies policy and encouragement of additional airlines to fly to Seychelles .mauritius flies emirates 15times a week with 777. Air France flies 5 flights a week, southafrican airways 2 daily flights ,condor daily. Other airlines fly daily. We are losing out to this destination,because gos and shta stb are not working with a common objective to increase numbers in key markets. Just last week when we are. Calling for more flights instead st ange brought to Seychelles a floating hotel. Madness indeed. A floating hotel.

On regime change we all know the under 30 group could careless for pl communism and they are75% of the existing vote. Pl is in trouble we all see it. Mr. Michel has failed Seychelles horribly and he stays to only enjoy the perks of leadership. There is nol leadership. All these new young people coming up who are solid, just push Michel out a little faster, just by standing up and saying enough. Unfortunately for him, they are joining the sfp not snppdm.

Nation says that we had more than 200000 tourists by the time Barry Faure went to the airport to welcome the swiss couple arriving on air seychelles from Abu Dhabi. The 200000th visitor arrived on Kenya Airways a few days before. Faure did not want to be welcoming someone from Africa as the 200000th visitor. One was selected at random.

France Albert Rene is the Hero of all Seychellois except Ti Johnny-Le-Gay a.k.a. Jean Paul Isaac, Gill a.k.a. Jeanne D'Arc, Gally Tall a.k.a. Lanbasader fes and you.Gill of course can be bought with a few thousand rupees as history has shown and we will make him wear a kitenge imprinted with FAR's face.

Freedom Loving Seychellois Welcome note

VICTORIA, MAHE, SEYCHELLES

A group of Seychellois dedicated to real democracy for our beloved Seychelles. Our goal is to free our country from the grips of the SPPF-Parti Lepep Government led by Albert Rene and James Michel, the two traitors who stole our country's freedom on that darkest day in our history - 5th June 1977. We will not rest until true democracy and freedom are returned to our shores. We want our fellow citizens to share information pertaining to crime and corruption by the members of this Government, past and present. This is a forum to do so and let us bring these criminals to justice. Post with words and images and let us take our country back. As Seychellois, we can no longer sit idly by and watch the corrupt SPPF-Lepep and their foreign conspirators destroy our country while they fill their foreign bank accounts. It is time for change, and we will do it peacefully at the ballot box starting in 2011. May God bless Seychelles and all freedom loving Seychellois.
